This mechanical pencil has been designed by LAMY for the Safari range. The barrel of the pencil has been made from strong ABS plastic, with a moulded ergonomic grip and has a shiny black finish. Developed in collaboration with ergonomists, this pencil ensures a pleasant and non-fatiguing writing experience. This makes it an excellent pencil for use at school, university or work. It also includes a built-in eraser under the plastic push-mechanism cap, and the eraser can be removed to reveal a built-in cleaning needle. Changing refills is easy – simply remove the push-cap and the eraser and cleaning needle and insert new pencil leads, then replace the eraser/cleaning needle and cap. The pencil takes M 41 (0.5mm) lead, and replacement eraser/cleaning needle is LAMY Z 18. This pencil is under a two-year warranty.
